On our eighth day in South Korea, my boy Sam and I made the best of a rainy day by getting up early to have a full Korean breakfast and exploring the world’s biggest department store! Come join us on our indoor adventures in Busan, South Korea!

It was pouring rain outside and we found a cozy place with wooden tables in Centum City that served a pork, vegetable, and soup feast! I couldn’t wait to get out of the rain and give them a try!
Inside, our breakfast spread included 10 amazing items, including fish cakes, lettuce, spicy pork with spring onions, spicy kimchi, soybean paste, herbs, egg souffle, veggies, and a tofu soup with soybean base. This was perfect for me because I love vegetables and pork!
The utensils were stored in a drawer in our table, which is super convenient. Before I started eating, I cleaned my hands with a wet wipe.
I started with a fish cake, which was super thick and not too spicy. There was a little bit of chilies in there, but the sauce was more like a tasty sweet and sour sauce. Then I moved on to the kimchi, which was really spicy. There are 200 varieties of kimchi in South Korea. Some are hotter, some have more sourness, but they’re all phenomenal!
Next was the soybean paste, which was really potent but nice. It was like a thick soybean jam. I couldn’t wait to mix it with something! Then I went with a spicy-looking herb that was actually a seaweed mixed with chilies and spices. Then I tried the egg souffle, which was like a soft, gelatin-like flan. It was ki...

In 1945, Korea was divided into South Korea and North Korea. Despite the fact that communist North Korea and democratic South Korea are neighbors, the life in these 2 countries is totally different.
Photographer Ed Jones decided to capture it and show to the rest of the world. In the photos you can see that clothes, interiors, and environments are more modern in South Korea. But the soul of these people is definitely the same.
